Sounds too good to be true right? 
Snooping around Argonne National Labs' web site will do 2 things: - Allow you to do exactly that.
- Make it so you actually believe the claim..!
I have: - Restored, smokey, worn old engines to health, with a noticeable improvement in fuel economy or power, depending on how heavy your foot is. (Ceramic Layer is 0.5 micron thick. Thats a total of -2 microns of play in a bearing or piston/cylinder)
- 'Buggered up' a gearbox as the syncros (that rely on friction) stopped working to the point that required the 'gear changing without a clutch' trick.
- Restored whiney old diffs. (non Limited slip! Unless you want to unlimit it!)

OK, interesting. But where on the website is it located? What did you search, or could you please link the article?
